Before they could understand what happened, Xia Qiu and Ling Yu had already sunk into the cold water. At first they thought it was just an illusion created by the shield, but the laborious movement in the water and the bubbles constantly spitting out of their mouths reminded them that everything was real.
The octopus shield skin enters the second form and uses magic to transform the entire space in the cave into an underwater world. When his entire body was immersed in the water, he seemed to be reborn, with strength continuously pouring out of his body.
Shieldskin can be said to be a failed product from the Qi Lie Formation, but he didn't realize it.
His creation was the whim of the god Gansu. He wanted to give birth to an unprecedented creature in the water world, which had the wisdom of human beings and the streamlined body of fish, but at the same time had great power. So, he started a crazy experiment. He used the elements that make up humans and several aquatic creatures to form a strange array, and finally formed the shield skin of the ancestor of the mermaid, and the prehistoric giant octopus was one of the creatures chosen by Gansu.
As a peacock demon, Ling Yu had extremely poor water properties. The moment he sank to the bottom of the water, he thought he would suffocate due to drowning. He opened his arms and struggled desperately for a long time, almost losing his mind, but was tightly held by a hand.
That hand was like a reassurance, calming him down instantly. When he slowed down his struggle and allowed his body to gradually relax, he discovered that although he felt like he was underwater, he could still breathe as freely as on land. It's just that the huge pressure underwater prevented him from controlling his balance well.
The same was true for Xia Qiu who was holding him. Every movement of his body surrounded by liquid required more effort. Although she has been able to swim since she was a child, diving and swimming are fundamentally different things. It was a problem for her to move freely in the water, and it was even more like an impossible task to deal with a large octopus that was extremely aquatic and powerful.
She began to regret a little. It might have been more appropriate if Qianqi had come to fight against Dunpi, while she had stayed to fight against Yasha. But immediately she felt ashamed of her negative thoughts. Even if their judgment was wrong at the beginning, in the war situation, if they have received military orders, they must obey them to the end.
At this moment, the shield skin transformed into an octopus was really powerful. It spit out a ball of ink to protect itself, and then used the power from the tentacles under its head to propel its body and attack the two teenagers. Its eight tentacles cooperated with each other, and several tentacles pretended to attack to deceive Xia Qiu and Ling Yu's attention, while several tentacles unexpectedly circled behind them.
Similar sneak attacks were successful many times, and the two mentally and physically exhausted teenagers became more and more impatient, and their movements against the enemy began to lose control. They knew very well that if they continued like this, sooner or later they would be defeated by this octopus monster.
How to break through the layers of water barriers and fully unleash your own power? And what is the weakness of the second form of shield skin
The two teenagers still couldn't help thinking about the answers to these questions, but a reality that was enough to completely crush their fighting spirit was right in front of them. There was nothing unusual about the small wound caused by the big octopus' sneak attack, but now it started to feel numb.
Xia Qiu suddenly recalled that during the World Cup a few years ago, there was an octopus named Paul who was known as the prediction king.
At that time, she was attracted by the miraculous prediction ability of octopuses, and began to search for various information about octopuses on the Internet. She remembered seeing one. Several types of octopuses leave poisonous saliva on wounds they cause when they are looking for food or in danger.
Those records also said that at first, this toxin would only numb the area around the wound, but in the end it would stop the poisoned person's breathing and heartbeat.
"You have been poisoned by me, and soon your bodies will completely lose consciousness." The dull voice of the giant octopus came from the water.
"It turns out you can talk in the water!" Lingyu sighed as if he had found a treasure.
"Do you feel numb in the place where you were injured by it?" Xia Qiu wanted to make sure that Ling Yu was also poisoned like himself.
"Yeah!" Lingyu nodded and spit out a string of bubbles.
"It seems that it didn't lie to us! This toxin will only numb the wound at first, but in the end it will make the poisoned person unable to breathe." Xia Qiu reminded the young man with a relaxed expression beside him.
"So what? Sister Xia, are you afraid of death?"
Ling Yu's words seemed to suddenly open up Xia Qiu's thoughts.
Since becoming a signatory to the blood pact, she has experienced countless battles and been in danger countless times, but she has never had the fear of death. This time, it’s just that the enemy is strong and we are weak, and there is a huge difference in strength. What’s the big deal
Xia Qiu felt that her consciousness was gradually beginning to blur. She had also felt this way after drinking the demon wine during the New Year celebrations. The numbness ran along her fingertips towards the top of her head, and the feeling at this time was several times greater than before. She had to shake her head from time to time to keep herself awake, but she fell deeper into dizziness after a moment.
When the body is no longer controlled by the brain, the soul separation ability gradually appears, but this time the soul separation is a bit chaotic. Mei Ren, who appeared in the dream as a woman wearing a mask, also appeared in front of her at some point.
And Ling Yu's appearance also looked different from before. I saw him wearing a phoenix crown on his head and a red outfit. The nine colorful tail feathers trailing behind his robe were also floating in the water like fish.
Xia Qiu couldn't believe her eyes. Could it be that she had been completely trapped in a dream world because of the deep poisoning? But looking to the other side, the huge purple octopus was still there.
She looked at Mei Ren beside her in confusion and asked: "Why...are you here?"
"I'm afraid it's the poison in the shield that caused your soul-leaving ability to confuse the dream with the real world and enter another realm. This kid looks very strange? Is he really a peacock demon?" Mei Ren looked at Ling. Yu glanced at it and then continued, "Forget it, this disgusting guy has a weakness!"
Before Mei Ren could tell what the weakness was, the big octopus attacked again.
The red-clothed spirit feather suddenly stood in front of Xia Qiu and flicked the tail feathers under the robe behind him to create a cyclone. The speed of the big octopus was also slowed down by the collision of the cyclone. It paused for a moment, and then a tentacle was cut off by the short knife in the hand of Ling Yu in red.
"ah!"
After a scream, the big octopus retreated. Unexpectedly, its poison not only failed to knock down the two teenagers, but actually unlocked some kind of power in them. Compared with before, this young man was not only able to move flexibly underwater, but his demon power seemed to have improved a lot. To be precise, he had clearly become a different person.
Octopus Shieldpi thought: Could it be that he had reservations before? Is this his true strength
"Look! This octopus has the ability to repair itself all over its body. No matter what kind of wound it is, even a broken tentacle can be regenerated!" Mei Ren pointed at the giant octopus and said to Xia Qiu and Ling Yu. At this time, the octopus The severed tentacles have almost been regenerated.
"Damn it! How can we defeat him?" Lingyu in red bit his lower lip and asked.
"There is a particularly soft spot slightly lower on the back of its head, which is connected to its Achilles' heel. If it can hit that spot just right, its form will be broken." Mei Ren answered him.
After Mei Ren pointed out the weakness of the giant octopus, Xia Qiu suddenly became enlightened and was busy preparing to discuss with Ling Yu beside him how the two of them should cooperate to successfully target its fatal weakness.
But for some reason, in this confused realm, Ling Yu not only dressed differently from before, but also his whole person became completely different. The eyebrows no longer had the childishness and unruliness as before, but became sharper, and the cold face no longer had a lively expression.
He said coldly to Xia Qiu beside him: "I said I wouldn't let you get hurt, right? But I still couldn't do it! Now, I'll be the bait!"
Before Xia Qiu fully understood what he meant, the satin he threw out of his sleeve wrapped around his arm.
"I will attack him head-on. When he bites me, I will use the Jade Sleeve Brocade to throw you behind him, so that you have the opportunity to attack his weak point!" Red-clothed Lingyu whispered He said that his words were like orders, and there was no room for Xia Qiu's rebuttal.
Xia Qiu disagreed with his idea from the bottom of her heart. It was too risky. Not to mention that being bitten by an octopus would definitely cause serious injuries to him. If she couldn't find the fatal spot in time, his life might not be guaranteed.
Looking at her hesitating, Ling Yu asked, "What are you still hesitating about?! If we didn't rely on me as a bait to make him relax his vigilance, we wouldn't be able to attack him from behind. He never attacks from behind when fighting. To us, he is afraid that we will find his weakness. There is only one chance, we must succeed!"
"Yeah!" Xia Qiu thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement with what he said.
The cut tentacles of the octopus's shield skin had fully grown back. When it saw the young man wrapping the girl's arms around the girl, he didn't know why, but then he thought that this would kill two birds with one stone and quickly kill them both.
While he was still thinking about it, Lingyu in red attacked him. It was busy blocking it with its tentacles. Unexpectedly, after he waved the dagger a few times, his movements gradually slowed down. It thought he was tired, so it seized the opportunity to wrap a tentacle around his arm holding the dagger and send him away at once. Into the bloody mouth.
At the same moment, Lingyu in red threw the jade sleeve brocade on the other side to the back of the big octopus's head desperately.
Xia Qiu felt like she was on a roller coaster in an amusement park. "Hoo!" He was already behind the big octopus.
The thin, almost transparent area under the back of its head that connected to its critical point was right in front of her, and she stabbed it there with the plum blade without hesitation.
